Step through the stately entry doors into a dramatic three-story foyer where your gaze is immediately drawn through the lower-level living space to the water beyond. The entry level unfolds into a refined waterfront family room anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and custom wet bar -- an elegant setting for relaxed evenings after a day on the river. Two private en-suite guest retreats provide exceptional comfort and autonomy, while a dedicated exercise room and thoughtfully placed powder room enhance daily living. Ascend by private elevator or along the beautifully illuminated staircase to the breathtaking main living level, where an 18-foot coffered ceiling crowns the open-concept design. The gourmet kitchen -- equally suited for the accomplished chef or the gracious host -- showcases dual islands, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and exquisite stone surfaces. The adjoining great room, appointed with custom built-ins and a second floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, flows seamlessly into the dining area. Expansive sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening onto the waterfront porch -- an idyllic extension of the living space and a spectacular setting for sunset gatherings or tranquil mornings. Also on this level: a refined private library, a beautifully designed multi-purpose laundry suite, a powder room, and a magnificent primary suite that spans the full depth of the home from street side to waterfront. This serene retreat captures commanding water views and offers a spa-inspired bath defined by understated elegance, refined materials, and thoughtful proportions. Throughout the residence, curated finishes and substantial structural engineering speak to enduring quality and modern resilience -- impact-rated windows and doors, elevated ceiling heights, custom millwork, refined lighting, seamless elevator access, and a building envelope designed for longevity along the coast. Every element has been executed with intention, harmonizing timeless Southport charm with contemporary sophistication. 306 E. Bay Street is not simply a waterfront home. It is a legacy property -- an architectural statement and a generational opportunity to own one of the most distinguished and thoughtfully executed addresses in historic Southport.
